The merry time of the year is finally here. Individuals across the world are celebrating one of the favourite festivals of the year—Christmas. While the adults are busy in giving a final touch to the Xmas decorations and dinner preparations, kids all over are waiting for their very own Santa Claus bringing presents for them and wishing Merry Christmas.

Most of the government offices were closed to the shutdown, but NORAD reported to continue the longstanding tradition no matter what.
